Determine Your Gate Opening:

Measure opening between posts where gate will be

located. Subtract 6

⁄

⁄4⁄

" from opening. This is the length

you will cut your rails for gate (Fig. 1).

NOTE:

Maximum width of opening between posts is 48".

Cut Rails To Desired Length:

Align bottom rail, top rail and top rail cap. Cut all to

same lengths with a  ne-tooth carbide blade.

Assemble Rails For Gate:

a. Place top and bottom rail on a smooth,  at and clean

surface. Then, align the top and bottom rails so that

the ridges inside the rails are oriented on the same

side (Fig. 2).

NOTE:

There are two (2) ridges on both sides that are

different sizes.

b. Insert all balusters through the square holes in rails,

making sure the hole in each baluster goes in the

same direction facing the side with the two (2) small

ridges (Fig. 3).

c. Make sure the balusters in the rails are about 2"

above the rail and in-line with each other (Fig. 3).

d. Snap in bumps from locking strip into holes of the

baluster for both top and bottom rails. Make sure

arrows on locking strip face rails (Fig. 4).

e. There will be some extra locking strip at the end of

install. Use scissors or a utility knife to trim off the

excess, while leaving approximately 2" after the last

engaged bump.

f. Pull the top and bottom rails towards ends, guiding

the rails over the locking strips until snug.

g. Stand rail section up and fully lock balusters into the

rails. Place one foot on the top of the bottom rail,

between the second and third baluster while at the

same time placing a hand under the bottom of the top

rail between the second and third baluster. Push with

foot and pull with hand until locking is completed.

You should hear a snap as the strip locks into the rail.

Repeat this process for the middle and the end of the

panel (Fig. 5 & 6).

NOTE:

If no snap is heard or felt, use a rubber mallet

to tap underneath of top rail to ensure a full

connection.
